	<h2>"Ocean View Enhances Hearty Meal"</h2>
	<h4 class="byline">by Christine Legere</h4>
	<p>Plymouth's newest addition, the Waterfront Bar &amp; Grill,
		offers a lovely view o the town's harbor from a second-story deck. And
		its peaceful color scheme, a wash of blues and whites both inside and
		out, is a great fir with the ocean setting.</p>
	<p>One recent evening we were lucky enough to score an outdoor
		table overlooking the harbor. The spot is already quite popular, so
		making a reservation, at least for an evening meal, would probably be
		wise. Reservations can be made for indoor seating only.</p>

		of us, so we began conservatively, splitting a tomato mozzarella stack
		($10) as our appetizer. Beefsteak tomato slices were topped with
		hearty wedges of mozzarella cheese, filaments of red onion, and a
		sprinkling of fresh basil. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar were
		drizzled over the stack. This tasty opening was enjoyable and easily
		adequate for the two of us.
	</p>
	<p>Those looking for a more substantial beginning would have a wide
		variety from which to choose: calamari, mussles, shrimp skewers, black
		and white sesame seed-encrusted ahi tuna, to basics like onion rings,
		french fries, Buffalo tenders, and mac and cheese.</p>
	<p>Prices for appetizers run from $9 to $12.</p>
	<p>For our main course, my companion ordered fish and chips ($16),
		featuring a generous piece of scrod, which she characterized as "moist
		and flaky" before handily polishing it off. The meal also included a
		serving of crispy fries.</p>
	<p>I ordered the chicken marsala ($16.95), with two large pieces of
		chicken breast, sauteed in a wine reduction flavored with shallots,
		garlic, and mushroom. The comination was served over a bed of
		scrumptious cheese-filled tortellini, rather than the usual pasta,
		which was a welcome surprise. I was only able to east about half of
		what was served. While I usually forgo doggie bags, this was much too
		good to leave behind.</p>
	<p>For dessert, we samples the creme brulee cheesecake and a large
		slice of red velvet cake with rich chocolate frosting and raspberry
		filling. I would recommend wither ($7 each), since both were great,
		but the cheesecake was definitely the favorite, since its super-light
		texture was welcome after our substantial main meals.</p>
	<p>The Waterfront Bar &amp; Grill bears no resemblance at all to
		the Crow's Nest, the building's former tenant. New owner Mike Cardelle
		spent the spring gutting the old restaurant and totally reconfiguring
		the space. The result is a larger dining room downstairs, far more
		upscale in appearance that its predecessor.</p>
	<p>The upper level, which features a sizeable oval bar with
		high-tops arranged along its perimeter, leads to the outdoor deck.</p>
	<p>The Waterfront Bar &amp; Fill's menu is extensive, so it's great
		for familirs. It offers a wide selection of seafood, chicken, and
		beef, along with sandwiches and burgers, interesting salads that are
		easily coverted to meals with a top-off of meat or fish, and heartier
		full dinners.</p>
	<p>Sandwiches are priced $7 to $10, and full meals $17 to $21.
		While 10-inch Pizzas were listen on the menu, the pizza oven was not
		yet installed when we visited.</p>
	<p>One of the best parts of this experience on the night we visited
		was that we could walk off all those extra calories in a beautiful
		coastal setting.</p>
